Funny you mention food order apps. UberEats web app is my prime example of how a flaming train wreck can make you a ludicrous amount of money, and how there's almost no correlation between engineering quality (not necessarily product quality) and revenue.

Uber loses fantastic, mind-bending amounts of money every quarter. Their apps don’t “make money.”
